I am interested in transformation and how we can take hard things and mulch them into beauty. Writing, podcasting, teaching yoga, leading community courses, and one on one mentorship are ways I develop this transformation and discovery. In these tumultuous times, this deep work is most effective in collaboration.
my name is Buffy.
Some Things That Will Help
While trauma and circumstance may be outside of our choice, this conversation explores the agency we have in how we met them. This episode is an invitation to curate your inner landscape, because, when we do, the life we long for becomes more reachable.
Buffy tells a story shaped by chance, luck, and the quiet intelligence of the universe. She share's the story of a dear friend about the unseen forces that moved across time and space, weaving mischief, meaning, surprise, and delight into her life—and into the lives of everyone witnessing this story.
How does what you are taking in—media, food, relationships, stories, habits—shape your inner landscape? In this episode, Buffy invites us into the practice of data collection as a way to bring us home to ourselves.
Consider this: how you complete the small tasks in your life can be a mirror for how you move through the big, life-shaping moments. What happens if you approach the small things with intention, presence, and care?
Buffy talks about her mom’s final days in hospice care and what has unfolded since. She explores what it means to live inside the loss of her person, of the new language that grief offers, and how to find the small, steady places of okay-ness in the midst of it all.
Buffy shares three stories of bravery and presence: her daughter braving her first cliff jump with a hundred witnesses; her son choosing courage over conformity; and her mother, in the final stages of life, reflecting on the light she brought to others.
In this deeply personal and tender episode, Buffy opens her heart and shares the journey of her mom Vivian’s breast cancer—from her diagnosis a decade ago, to the present moment of making the decision to call hospice.
Buffy introduces the Circle of Willis — a vital loop of arteries that keeps blood flowing to our brains, even when part of the path is blocked. She uses this miraculous piece of human design as a powerful metaphor: when life blocks one path, it often quietly reroutes us to another, sometimes better, direction.
It is essential to find our own raw piece of earth,
and inhabit it without apology. This quest for self-understanding is perhaps at the center of my work and the important invitation I extend to others. I create offerings that are soaked in story, movement, intuition, connection to spirit, the ability to get very still, as well as the audacity to set things on fire. My work is all these things at once– and signals a path to return home. Home is not a place forward or backwards, but a place that evolves over time within each of us.
